Hi,
I haven't been following this thread, however I see, that you are proposing a functionality, that overlap with the string algorithm library.
For instance, trim functionality is already there, and if basic_cstring can provide Collection/Range compatible interface, it will work straight away.
Have a look into boost/algorithm/string
First of all I agree that we should not implement overlapping functionality in different boost libraries but OTOH I don't know why the developer of the test library implements its own string class. I do would like to remark that we should minimise dependencies in the test-tools libraries and make them as lightweight as possible. Because if the test tools don't compile, they can't be used to verify if the rest compiles !?
